Yes. Funny isn’t it? This is a 50 year old man we are talking about.

We know what 'doing a Bradbury' is. We also know what 'doing a Hopa' is. 👆🤘
Sure looks that way. Obviously no remorse for that foul behaviour, thinks it’s a great joke and wears it like a badge of honour. Most people would be ashamed and horrified to be remembered for doing that act, but Hopoate clearly has no moral compass.
I think it was more than some swearing. I'd imagine Dave Trodden has been sworn at before. It sounds like Hopoate was incredibly belligerent and nasty.

Absolute tosser. To the point you have to wonder if serious mental health issues are at play and have been for most of his life. Should be banished permanently. The guy is a germ.
Will he ever grow up??

I don't know how many times he has to be told to pull his finger out and get a grip....

I bet his family are incredibly proud. Still wearing those sad arse fingering T-shirts every day more than twenty years later, even for special outings to Court. Can't believe he never played for Souffs, would have been a Rabbletard legend. Extra special mention to the WT's marketing genius that invited him and can't use CTE as an excuse.

What sort of mongrel grub do you have to be to still think it’s cool that you were shoving your finger up another man’s arse while he was concentrating on playing top level sport?
I have no idea how he can look his kids in the eye after doing that, let alone promote it at official club events…

That‘s one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. She must be a saint. Let’s face it, she’d have to be to put up with this prick for 30 years.

On the whole fingergate thing, never forget that Terry Lamb and his teammates laughed about it when they saw him doing it, when they watched the replays in video sessions (Because it was happening for weeks, not just the Cowboys game). That’s one of the reasons i have zero respect for Lamb. Say what you want about our club these days and how amateurish it is, and in some areas it is, but back then, that level of unprofessionalism that that behaviour got back slapped by your coach and teammates was shameful.

The thing no one ever seems to acknowledge is that that was sexual assault. Looking back, he’s lucky he wasn’t charged.

Hasn't one been done for cocaine distribution?
I don't know, you could be right.

Even weirder that we got episode 1.

John Hopoate clearly has a few screws loose, possibly even verging on psychopathy. No empathy, totally impulsive, can't read the room. Does the same dumb stuff over and over.
A lot of this was obviously glossed over by those close to him during his playing career because the flip side was that those attributes can be handy in the world of league (until he took it too far).
I honestly won't be surprised if one day, the guy ends up doing a long stint in prison.
